The Osteoarthritis Clinical Research Group is a large and highly collaborative team which focuses on all aspects of clinical and translational research in osteoarthritis.
We work closely with multidisciplinary teams, and are committed to designing and testing innovative, accessible, technology-based interventions that could accelerate recovery and decrease the burden of musculoskeletal pain globally.
Our research focuses on numerous aspects of osteoarthritis including the epidemiology of osteoarthritis, imaging in osteoarthritis, clinical trials, novel therapies in disease management and health services research for chronic disease management.
Our team is working to:
- Investigate the epidemiology of osteoarthritis;
- Improve the management of osteoarthritis by evaluating common and novel treatments;
- Improve the quality of life for people with osteoarthritis by promoting and providing evidence-based resources and treatments.
